-[Totem]'s major strength over its '
competitors'
is its sane [GUI]. Contrast [Xine], whose interface is such a disaster it should convince people that "skinning" is a huge misfeature. Tring
to imitate the operation of analog devices doesn't help usability either. Jamie Zawinski's [rant | http://www.jwz.org/doc/linuxvideo.html] about Linux video player usability is harsh, but valid.

-If totem-gstreamer won't play your [DivX] files, try installing the ffmpeg plugin. This may be patent-encumbered in some countries, so your distribution might not distribute it in their CD images. If you use Ubuntu Hoary, __

is apparently in Universe. If you use Debian Sarge, [get it here|http://pkg-gnome.alioth.debian.org/debian/pool/g/gst-ffmpeg/gstreamer0.8-ffmpeg_.8.2-1_i386.deb].
